i feel they are really hard to use. you literally have to ambush from point blank range to keep all 4 man alive when initiating combat. i rather trade demo for some received accuracy modifier bonus.

First, for the game to be balanced, it needs another different patch (and they said on the past they weren't going to make 2 different balance modes).
Second, while you can fix economy inflation, you can't change the fact the way how 3v3+ is played makes some things completely imbalanced by simple the amount of units on screen and the number of abilities being able to be cast.

This lead to something simple: if they can't balance 1v1, how do you expect them to create another setting for different unit performance and cost for 3v3+

i am aware of relic's capabilities. i remember it took them half a year+ to nerf opel blitz and there were months when 4v4 players had 4 maps to play on for months. and that new vielsam map is just wtf. right half of it doesn't even look finished ffs.

i am also aware 1v1 would be easier to balance and probably good for the game in terms of pure longevity and some cred in terms of esport status of the franchise.

i have problem with these ppl who say 3v3+ is impossible to balance therefore don't even give it a look etc etc. that is a rubbish attitude that just shits on most of the playerbase who probably generated more money for relic so they can do patches and shit for sacred 1v1 players.

there is never going to be a time when 1v1 players are going to go "oh well, 1v1 is fairly balanced, why don't you fix 3v3+ now?" and i accept that. but to go as far as shielding relic from 3v3+ balance concerns even before they even tried is just wtf (not in this thread and not even from you specifically but from what i read on coh2.org last year and half).


on topic kinda: so will supply and other things be implemented before MWNL2? or after? looks like relic wants to add a lot of new stuff and there are still big balance problems with unfixed bugs.

4 Factions, A shitload of commanders. I don't know about you, but i have around 15 different tactics to approach this game depending on faction choice and the enemy/combination of enemys i see. I'm far from mastering them all. None of those include less then 5 different units. I like those combined arms. And they do work. And yes, sometimes it takes more effort to punish the blob, then to a-move it. But then again, it brings me uberjoy to see those blobs transform into little xp values floating to the sky.

Have fun, whatever you do, and good luck with it!

this. there are possibilities. i know loads of ppl who just label non standard strats "nonviable" because they are too scared to try it and master new strats.

@Voltardark ... I'm gonna put it simple: shows us a list of SUCESSFUL COMPETITIVE RTS team games. I've some in minds but numbers talks for themselves. Inverse is just trying to say that it is futile to try to reinvent the wheel.
...

i do not understand ppl defending relic preemptively when talking about balancing 3v3+ (4v4 primarily). and it isn't as drastic as reinventing a wheel, balancing 3v3+. relic hasn't even tried half-arsely and i think it is at least partly due to these preemptive relic defenders when it comes to 3v3+ balance. its not like the ppl don't have good points but let relic try at least ffs.

i.e. they nerfed opel blitz truck in a way it has no impact on sacred 1v1 mode, and balanced 2v2+ where opel blitz+ caches allowed germans to shit resources out of their ass.

if you play 3v3+ quite regularly, it is blatant, almost offensive how obvious some game breaking shits are.

next step should be making caches only affect one player in 3v3+ or just disable that shit. there are 10 normal resource points and 8 freakin players ffs.

anyway. can't wait for this supply thingy. got me hyped a little.
